"I was very happy with

They were on time, completed the job" ...More and cleaned up when done.
Very pleasant to deal with.

"Guys were on time and worked every day it didn't rain. We selected several potential bricks to use since the bricks that were originally used are no longer" ...More available. Pat thought none of these would look good and selected some we are really pleased with. They cleaned up their messes and did a great job on the steps; they look great and we have had many good comments on the looks and the workmanship. During the demolition wires were cut to our landscape lights. He did not fix the lights but did put in conduit under the steps so that it would be easy to run the landscape wiring. On one instance, Pat came out late one evening and assured the work was sealed because there was supposed to be heavy rains. Pat indicated he underbid the job but did not try to charge us any extra. We are very pleased and will use again if need arises.

Generally considered the highest quality choice for home exteriors, brick and stone are also almost maintenance free and will last as long as the house, though some repairs may be needed from time to time.

Angie's Answers

Detergent soaking and low-pressure pressure washing (to avoid etching or swirling the surface) about $0.50-1.00/SF - ditto for the sealing. Minimum charge probably about $150. This is something you can easily do yourself if you are just a bit yard handy - rent a pressure washer (or use this job as excuse to buy one) - 1000-1500 psi one is all you want for this, a gallon of concrete/driveway washing detergent, a large paint brush for the sealer, and as much brick/stone/concrete sealer as you need for your area - could probably do yourself for about $0.50/SF. View a few online videos on how to pressure wash without leaving swirl or etch marks in brick/concrete.

Ed

is a top notch contractor. We first reached out to him a few months ago because our home was in need of a good repointing. Our chimney had a few sizable gaps between several stones as did each exterior wall. It wasn't in awful shape (Ed actually said our house was built like a bank and is in great shape), but all homes ...More need maintenance and that was the case here.
He made himself available to come out and give us an estimate within a few days of our first call. His assessment of the house was thorough and while his estimate was a bit steep (because we had no idea what to expect), we totally understood why by the time he was done. He is the best of the best and the best can be pricey (but, again, worth it!). We'd reached out to other masons at the same time, but no one else got back to us. After reading the reviews of Ed and his employees, we decided to just go with him. So happy we did.
It took him a while to get out here because he is so in demand and also because we've had such a rainy summer. Worth the wait! He had our whole house pointed in two days and he and his employee did an exceptional job. He consulted with me about the color selection on the day he got here and we both agreed that the options he had were very close to what we already had. As a graphic artist, my eyes are trained to see differences in color. You absolutely cannot tell that Ed did anything to our home other than all the holes being gone. The color matching of the new mortar to the 75 year old mortar was done with precision.
Ed went above and beyond for us. Outside of the pointing we'd hired him to do, he took it upon himself to fix up an area on the front steps that was kind of a mess. The steps had settled, making it look like they were pulling away from the house and leaving a couple of cracks and general ugliness. Additionally, the last pad of our walkway that met with the bottom step had also settled, and the caulking that had been placed in the gap years ago by the last owner was peeling and unsightly. I came outside to Ed chiseling away all of the old stuff and recaulking everything. It looks great now! I hadn't even thought to have him do that and he may have saved us from the costly expense of replacing the steps.
Before I forget, there's one more nice thing Ed did for us. We have a tile roof and, from what he told us, the tiles are rare, expensive and hard to get your hands on, so he won't go on this type in order to reach the back side of a chimney. Darn. Well, we've got a fantastic roofer and think we can convince him to do a few patches if they are needed while he's here the next time. Ed left us sand and color matched mortar so that we've got it all ready when the time comes. How nice is that? He didn't have to do that, but he did. Awesome.
Anytime a contractor comes to your house, it's a gamble. we've hired contractors with amazing reviews and something still goes horribly awry. When you find someone who loves their job, is a master at what they do, and will go above and beyond what you asked of them, that's the person you keep in your black book of awesome contractors and hire over and over. Ed is going into our black book. He is a true professional, a nice guy, and has been doing this long enough to know exactly what needs done (and exactly what doesn't).
If you need a stonemason, Ed is your guy.”

Fisher was very prompt and professional. He came out to see the job (twice!), provided me detailed estimates, explained the work to be done, and found additional problems neither I nor my home inspector had found. I had three masons come out, and

, I ended up moving. I can't review any of his work, since we didn't get that far.”

came within a day or two to look at the job and make a quote.
He understood what we wanted and explained what he would do.
We accepted the offer and came back within a week as promised and did the work.

While

is certainly competent doing general remodeling, his specialty is Masonry. Having known him for the past few years, I have come to understand why. His Dad taught his sons masonry at an early age and

has been perfecting it ever since. I don't know how he stacks up to masons in other cities, however ...More you won't find a better one in Atlanta.

I have dealt with close to 30 contractors in Atlanta over the past 10 years. I have used a couple other contractors a few times, however I always come to

first. Why?

owns up to his mistakes, he is honest, and he works without complaining. I work a day job, and am unable to micromanage most of the projects, so I give him a credit card to purchase supplies on. It takes a lot of trust to do something like this in an industry filled with incompetence.

As this review alludes to, I value character to be almost as important as the quality of work. I don't have time or patience for excuses, poor quality, tardiness, or deciept.

's craftsmanship coupled with his work ethic will keep me a customer for years to come.

. He rebricked exterior wall on the

corner. 2 walls. Installed a angle iron over basement window. He put flashing at the base of foundation. I do not believe anyone else would have caught these 2 things. We had 2 people come out before we met

and his brother did an awesome job! Very responsive and constant updates so I knew exactly what was going on and when each stage was completed. The steps look great and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely use them in the future for any masonry needs.”
